So it was natural that the most important subject before the congress at this meeting was the present depression and the bad condition ot the farmer.

Most of the discussion centered around the subjects of farm credits, co-operative marketing and transportation. Secretary of Agriculture Wallace explained and emphasized the legislation that Congress has passed, and although he was on the program on the subject "The Way Out" the secretary said he had decided not to talk on that subject because he did not know the way out He told the many things the Department of Agriculture Is doing in solid constructive work and by his sincerity convinced his audience that his department is doing all it possibly can for the farmer. Further discussions on farm credits brought out testimony from most everywhere that one cause of the present state of affairs is the fact that credit has been used too freely in the past. In discussion on co-operative marketing, the problem of the surplus was continually in the way. It is admitted that the existence of even a small surplus reduces the price of the whole crop.

If this were not true, a marketing system that feeds the market and avoids dumping the entire crop on the market, the marketing problem would be pretty well solved. But if a surplus has to be carried over from one year to the next, this with the increase in production induced by better prices, causes the breaking down of the system. The grape industry in California is an example of this. A year ago the raisin industry was held up to the world as an example oauccessful marketing. To jury.
